Fiber Cravings

Sheep in the City will be held from Feb. 24-26 in Oak Creek.

No not the type that adds bulk to your body - this is the kind that adds fluff to your stash.

Some of you know what I am talking about. In the next week, fiberists from all over the country will be flocking to Comfort Suites Hotel right here in Oak Creek for a weekend of fiber! If you ever thought about knitting, spinning, crochet, Sheep in the City from Feb. 24-26 is the place to come. You can bring a project and hang out in the fiber circle with other addicts.

I must warn you, this craft/hobby can be very addicting. Once you start touching you can barely stop. We will have classes to help you learn, vendors and free demos.

Ever do a cake walk? This one is for a cake of yarn, and the fashion show is where you walk the runway. Juli is demonstrating and helping you to use an antique walking wheel - the big wheel with the woman standing next to it.

This is a local event but we have visitors from Texas and Michigan, and Kansas. We are in our fourth year and I look forward to it every year. For more information, go to the Sheep in the City Getaway website.
